He is referring to classical conservatism, not modern conservatism.

Modern conservatives endorse and sponsor social welfare programs and believe that individuality must be sacrificed for the greater good of party, or state.

"If a man isn't liberal when he's seventeen he has no heart - if he's not conservative by the time he's twenty-five he has no brain!"

I believe it is from P. J. O'Rourke's
"Why I am a Conservative" published in 1996. See:

I don't have any "squishy liberal" friends; I may have to work with some, and there are several in my extended family (rumor says even Texas' own John Sharp is kin), but would I freely choose to associate with these people?
No way; neither will I vote for John Sharp for anything, family or not.
